For example, the inch full HD monitor can swivel to accommodate different viewing angles, depending on if you are seated or in bed. The luxurious suite is so large there are also several storage spaces, including a full-sized personal wardrobe, a leather-lined amenity box and a customized handbag stowage compartment.
Both are stylishly furnished and larger than the average commercial airline lavatory, with enough room to comfortably change an outfit. One of them features its own sit-down vanity counter with a range of products, making it ideal for touching up your hair or makeup before landing. Singapore Airlines is highly regarded worldwide for the impeccable service on all its flights, but nowhere is this more on display than in the Suite Class.
Guests are warmly welcomed on board by staff and offered the finest c hampagne — including Dom Perignon and Krug — as standard refreshment. Long haul flights usually include snacks and two main meals with several courses; these are served within your suite on a personal dining table that appears from a hidden side panel.
Please note, Singapore Airlines is currently operating a reduced flight network due to Covid Whatever your destination, when flying with Singapore Airlines you can also volunteer to offset the carbon emissions created by your journey. How else can you identify that you are flying on the latest and greatest? The As equipped with the new suites have only 6 suites on offer, whilst the As still fitted the old suites have 12 suites on offer. For the First Class lounge, you make your way to the left from the reception and for the Business Class lounge you make your way to the right.
As you enter the lounge, you will notice that it has two distinct areas — a relaxation area and a dining area. The First Class lounge at first glance feels spacious and comfortable, but it can get crowded very quickly. There are various type of seating arrangements available, ranging from sofas and chairs to private cubicles.
Beyond the seating area at the far end are the washrooms and showers, which were absolutely spotless. The lounge offers both a buffet and an la carte option, however the buffet selection was fairly limited, with only Dim Sum and Chicken Congee on offer for breakfast. The a la carte selection was however decent; I opted for the Nasi Lemak, which was delicious, accompanied with a mango smoothie. The breakfast selection also had on offer: cereals, smoothies, juices, croissants, pastries and fresh fruits.
The Lounge offers a self-service wine and bar service, stocked with a respectable selection of spirits, wines, and cocktails, along with Laurent Perrier champagne. After breakfast I settled down with a SilverKris sling, in a chair next to the floor to ceiling glass window for some plane spotting. Overall, it is a decent lounge, but I was a tad disappointed with the offerings. The designated boarding gate was B42, which was quite a walk from the lounge.
For First Class passengers this is not a problem, Singapore Airlines arranges a buggy to speed you from the lounge to the gate. The aircraft, registered 9V-SKY, was delivered to Singapore Airlines in June , it is configured to seat a total of passengers as follows:. Boarding was through the L1 door on the upper deck, where I was greeted by the purser at the entrance of the aircraft and escorted to my Suite — 1A.
The first thing that strikes you is the SIZE, it is huge! I chose Suite 1A, as suites in Row 1 are the biggest, at 57 sq ft, followed by those in Row 2 and Row 3 respectively in terms of size. With over 50 sq ft worth of space, this is one of the most spacious First Class products in the world; this is definitely bigger than my old college dorm.
The immediate comparison that comes to mind is with the Etihad Apartment. The suite looked resplendent with the cabin lighting; the decor is modern, elegant and well styled with subtle pallets of brown and beige with clean lines. It is designed like a mini-hotel room, with a swivel chair, fold out bed and a tablet to control everything in the suite from the lighting to the entertainment options. If you are travelling with a companion, Suites 1A and 2A and 1F and 2F are the ones to go for, where the divider can be lowered and the suites can be turned into a double bed.
Everything was pretty tasty — the chicken thigh with honey garlic sriracha was by far my favorite, though. I had a few minutes to try out some of the other lounge features too, including the semi-private cubicles. There were three jet bridges for our A, including one that let me off at the base of the stairs to the upper deck.
You can also swivel the chair about degrees, which is crazy. Talk about service! Seriously, there was an abundance of pillows. I was able to fit my large duffel and backpack in the locker, along with some hanging items. The locker is located just next to the sliding door, which I found very easy to operate — you just slide one single panel, rather than bringing two together like on Emirates. The huge bathroom also has some amenities, such as brushes, razors and dental kits.
The layout was pretty interesting, with a separate vanity area. The starboard side lav is considerably bigger, but the port side one is a decent size, too.
It also swivels, which is pretty cool, so you can watch it from the bed or the chair if you prefer. I also really liked how customizable the lighting was. You can even link your preferences to your KrisFlyer account, so all your lighting and entertainment preferences are instantly loaded the next time you fly in one of the new suites. If I had been connecting to another Singapore flight I could have picked up right where I left off. So cool! We described our booking process in our Round-the-world in First Class article.
As you pull up to the red-carpeted entranceway, porters assist with your luggage and you are whisked through to take a seat at a private check-in desk. Unsurprisingly there was no queue and we were through to the departures area in less than 10 minutes. The Singapore Airlines Terminal 3 lounges are located up an adjacent escalator from the exit of the private immigration channel.
We will be writing full reviews of both the SilverKris T3 First Class lounge and The Private Room, as we in fact had over 12 hours to enjoy these facilities having checked in for our flight the previous afternoon so that we could stay overnight and review the Aerotel Transit hotel. The lounge reviews are coming up soon. Boarding was via one of the large satellite stands in Terminal 3.
Personally, we dislike these gates as multiple flights can be boarding at the same time leading to long security lines and a lack of seating. Boarding was via a separate Suites channel.
The Suites and Business Class passengers board onto the upper deck forward door, though this is behind the Suites cabin itself. That means walking through the galley to get to the Suites cabin, which feels a little odd. First impressions are no less awesome than the first time we saw the mockup. The space is extraordinary. The space is incredible even when compared with the older Suites. Even bigger still is the suite in front — 1A. The leather is plush and the padding is luxurious.
That is until a fellow passenger joins their suite across the aisle and you make somewhat uncomfortable eye contact. The element of privacy is gone. You are definitely not on a private jet. At the individual suite level, row 1 offers the largest floor area 54 ft 2 followed by row 2 43 ft 2 and finally row 3 35 ft 2 has the smallest pair of suites.
Singapore Airlines A Suites certainly stand up well in size terms to the competition. As a point of comparison the Etihad Apartments their version of First Class enclosed suites on the A each measure 39 ft 2 3. The double suite offers a floor area of roughly 97 ft 2 9 m 2. You are invited to leave your hand luggage in a large wardrobe at the entrance to your suite. Contained within are a blanket, slippers and socks plus a vanity mirror and hangers for jackets, coats and shirts.
The colour palette of the Suites cabin is very understated, mainly beiges and dark browns, offset slightly by a subtle wall pattern and the orange of the seat cushion. Behind the suites cabin is the galley serving this section, the same one you walk through to reach your seat as mentioned above.
A missing aspect of these suites is individual air vents. A couple of these would be ideal, near the seat and the bed perhaps, however Singapore Airlines chose not to install any in this cabin. Our flight was smooth but others have reported this feels a little odd during turbulence. Both are excellent.
We happen to prefer the Krug, especially the vintage. Other than the huge wardrobe at the entrance to the suite, there is a leather padded storage area under the credenza where smaller bags, laptops, iPads etc can be stowed for easy access. There is a detachable leather securing strap and a courtesy light. Other smaller items can be stored in the three desk-level compartments on the top of the credenza.
Useful little side pockets either side of the seat are perfect for menus and other in-flight paraphernalia whilst a formal literature pocket is hidden behind the seat itself. It is worth noting that on shorter sectors of less than 6 hours, either no amenity kit or a generic one is provided. The new Lalique amenity kit is provided on longer sectors alongside their elegant new pyjamas. Two toilets are provided for a maximum of six Suites passengers. The forward right toilet is the larger one of the two.
Unfortunately neither toilet had been cleaned properly, with a greasy substance evident on all the surfaces. More on that later in the review.
There is clearly enough room, arguably there is too much room without one, and for a maximum of six passengers, a single shower would easily suffice even accounting for the removal of a toilet while the shower was in use.
Even the shower facilities there lack a private toilet. It does seem a shame, as this option is available to First Class passengers on the Emirates and Etihad As.
